I have conquered the Diamond Tar, penetrated the Giant Block of Mud, survived the Brained Babies, dodged my way around the Cornered Queens...and here I am, facing nothing more than 120 squares of tar, and I'm baffled.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: What's even more baffling is that I must have conquered this room before, because I have a high score for the room on the next level. But something must be wrong here, because I have no high score and no demo for the room. (Did it change?)

Yes, it changed a while ago.

Grr. I wish I could just download my old (invalid) demo, to see what I did, but clearly that won't work.

I worked my way up one side of the room (of course).

I think the important thing is to plan the exact situation each spawn to make sure the tar stays more easily cuttable.

Yeah, so I tend to be terrible at giving hints. Just say if you need more hints and no doubt someone else can give more help or a demo.

Edit: Oh, and I am sorry about altering this room, but it was so easy originally that it really didn't belong in the hold. Now, well I think it fits quite well. ie. nasty mean!

Alright... I hate doing this, as I wanted to het through the hold without hints, but I really need help here. Last room on the level and it's driving me crazy. Could anyone please, please be so kind as to give me some more advice? I assume the best advice would be some on how to kill the swarm of babies coming from the other side and still have time left to kill one more mother. I can get quite near (I could definitely do it if the spawn cycle were 32 turns long, maybe even 31), but not near enough.

Please help a lost and desperate soul.

For me it worked like this. I work my in the left column. There're 3 phases. In phase 1, I "prepare" for the mother to be stabbed by stabbing the neighboring tar. In phase 2, I stab the mother. In phase 3, I clean up the babies from the right. Then repeat.

If you can kill off the babies in the right with roughly 4-5 moves to spare, then you can go ahead and stab some tar to finish phase 1. Don't be afraid to after stabbing the tar. Once you can accomplish phase 1 properly, the rest falls apart.

I still can't get past this room . Could someone take pity and donate a demo which I will then shamelessly follow move by move ?

Ouch, yes that is a nasty room.
My demo is attached.
